I started to think about how to dialogue about our beliefs. I would like to hear why a person believes what they believe. How did you come to your conclusion, what made you seek something other than what you use to believe (I know that I am presuming here, but I would venture to say that what...

Love I was reading back over a couple threads and came across this statement; “Love means no strings attached.” (Tony) My mind is restless when I read stuff and once again I started contemplating the statement. This kind of love has to come from the Greek word Philo which means a certain...

I am about 3/4 the way through reading the Quran for the second time and don't really understand the need for the Quran, another book. Also the Quran states that a book is given to each nation in it's own language. Where are all these books? My question for this dialogue; does the Quran contain...

I got up this morning, read some of the posts and said to myself, today is the day. Went to my Kindle and a book I have been working through: Christianity for modern Pagans: Pascal’s Penees This statement by the Author states my thoughts perfectly. I will leave you with this even though most...

"I said to myself, "“Behold, I have magnified and increased wisdom more than all who were over Jerusalem before me; and my mind has observed a wealth of wisdom and knowledge."" And I set my mind to know wisdom and to know madness and folly; I realized that this also is striving after wind...

I was wondering about your thoughts here. Why not dictated as in the case with Muhammad. Why the word ""inspired" by God" or "God-breathed". this is the only time in the New Testament that this Greek word is used and Timothy was one of Paul's latter letters. Titus being his last. Paul even...

Is the Bible, especially the New Testament a supernatural book? Has it radically changed the lives of many men and women?

The big lie that put the world into sin, “Did God really say”. Just look at all the different religions in the world and even within religions there is discord and fraction. Christianity, how many different denominatons, cults. Islam, broken into 2 major fractions. Catholism, splintered in...

I know that most of you here don’t believe the Bible to be God’s Word to mankind, or believe that it is but we can’t trust it. These verses should explain why Christians believe as they do. Thoughts? John 17:1–10 (NASB95): 1 Jesus spoke these things; and lifting up His eyes to heaven, He...

There has been some dialogue about facts and opinions here when it comes to Religions. I just thought that I would like to present a clear case about people ignoring facts. Yes, we have talked about facts as maybe being elusive and in many cases, pure facts can be. But let's look as a perfect...

Would you agree that the Jews and Christians are the most persecuted Religions in the world? Not trying to tie them together in the same sense. Why are these two groups so disliked in the Muslim countries?

Why do you believe that Satan is called the “great deceiver”?

The common thread on this site when it comes to discussion about religions is the same as always. It always comes down to what people want to believe. Every Abrahamic Religion tries to say that the Jewish and Christian Scriptures (the Bible if you like) have all been corrupted and can not be...

Titus 3:3–8 (NASB95): For we also once were foolish ourselves, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another. 4 But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, 5 He saved us, not on...

There is a lot of conversation when it comes to Bibles, or I should say Books from God. Jews have Books, Christians have Books, Muslims have a Book, Mormons have a Book and Jehovah Witnesses have a Book. Each of the Books claim exclusivity. Would God make give us a Book that was for only one...

I am once again reading the Quran (sorry, english translation). I have been told by Muslims that the Bible, Jewish and Christian texts are both corrupted. Yet Islam uses certain text from those same text when they want to validate something that they believe. Like Muhammad being spoken of in...

In listening to people talk about their religion, how well do you think people know what they believe to be factual and true? I find that most people who believe in a religion only believe in what they believe because that is what they have been told or either grew up in that religious...
